BTS’s Jimin set a new record on SoundCloud!
On December 31 at midnight KST, Jimin shared a new solo track titled “Promise.” Jimin co-composed the song with Slow Rabbit, and wrote the lyrics with fellow BTS member RM.
SoundCloud has now officially confirmed that “Promise” reached 8.5 million streams in the first 24 hours! This means he has broken the record for the most streams ever in the first 24 hours on SoundCloud.
“Promise” also maintained the No. 1 spot on the SoundCloud Top 50 and New & Hot charts for a whopping 48 hours after its release in all countries. Only 72 hours after the track was dropped, it was already played more than 15 million times!
SoundCloud states that fans all over the world were streaming the song, and the top 5 countries driving streams were South Korea, the United States, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Japan.
Congratulations to Jimin!

ㅇㅇ |2019.01.02 13:38 [+56, -1] I don't know if it's because of my emotions but I listened to the song the whole day yesterday and this morning, and his voice sounds different to me ㅋ When I listened to it this morning, his voice sounded more feminine to meㅋㅋ The part at 1:11 when he goes "Ooh~" and that the sound goes from one ear to the other, I got chills down my spineㄷㄷ
ㅇㅇ |2019.01.02 19:10 [+22, -0] Foreign popular media outlets are all going crazyㅠ I omitted some of them because there were so many

Jimin kept on peeking on the cue-sheet, quite obviously, then they made eye-contact and in the end Eunwoo just showed him the cue-sheet he held.
Look at how sweet they are.

BTS Jimin, it's so impressive to know that he ranked #17 worldwide on The Guardian's top30 "Boyband members". People overseas have all acknowledged him as BTS Jimin. This is such a happy news. Jimin, I love you. I love everything about you. I'm so happy to be together with him. Jimin is our trend fairy. He's handsome, considerate, modest and kind. Jimin's words are also pretty, Jimin, thank you thank you. Jimin always thinks of his fans. That's why we like him so much. The moment I think of Jimin, my heart flutters. My heart jumps. I only have Jimin

ㅇㅇ |2018.12.04 18:07 [+174, -2] When it ended they were walking shoulders in shoulders ㅜㅜㅠㅠㅠ It's freaking warm to see them at award shows sharing the same hardships and joy together ㅜ I support their friendshipㅜ
ㅇㅇ |2018.12.04 18:44 [+140, -1] This is freaking cute, during Produce's last episode, Jimin was in a concert overseas, but he tried to send a text to vote for Ha Sungwoon and they didn't let it through so he was arguing with them saying that he was a Korean ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This gif is the 2013 and 2018 Jimin who's all grown up...
ㅇㅇ |2018.12.04 22:40 [+104, -0] I'm a wannable and I like Ha Sungwoon and Jimin so much.. The reason why I'm certain that Jimin is a good person is that their padding friendship(?) is made up of Shinee, EXO and Hotshot who is the only group that has no recognition. When his friends were all doing super well, Sungwoon was struggling all alone and Jimin was so frugal in taking care of him, he was also supporting him when he was being treated as a failed-idol on Produce, it's easy for people to stick around you when you're doing well, but your true character comes out when you still stick to their sides when they're not doing well, as Sungwoon's fan, I'm so grateful towards Jimin, every time I see those 2 together, I always choke up. It always makes me think "Ah Sungwoon still has Jimin by his side"
ㅇㅇ |2018.12.04 23:20 [+81, -0] Supporting this friendship
"Please support Sungwoonie hyung, he's kind and this hyung sings so well"
ㅇㅇ |2018.12.04 23:05 [+67, -1] I'm Sungwoon's fan and I saw Jimin posted the proof that he voted for Sungwoon in the last Produce episode and the way he always consoles Sungwoon makes me so grateful ㅠㅜㅠ Manggae-cloud friendship forever,,

I joined the fandom because of Jimin and I can't get out of it. Maybe the Japanese fans feel the same ^^
4. [+578, -27]
His charms are a black hole and you'd be shocked if you watch the detail of his dancing. His voice and singing are also amazing. But he's also cute and warm off-stage.. no wonder he's so popular
5. [+508, -22]
Jimin-ah, we're not the only one who are worried about you, the Japanese Armies are also supporting and loving you. BTS will definitely see better days ahead!
6. [+112, -1]
If you just watch Jimin oppa a bit closer, you would see how close he is with the fans!! Even though he's in an unbelievable situation, he's here to comfort the fans~ that's why fans like Jimin oppa so much <3
7. [+96, -1]
Even if you watch only a 10 min video on how Jimin takes care of the members or the fans, you would be able to see how warm his personality is... he's the warmest person I've seen in all my 40 years of existence..

Article: Japan 'Music Station' reps, "The problem is their anti-Japan shirt", BTS reps, "postponing performance"
Source: Sports Chosun via Naver
1. [+7,401, -46] That's fine, we didn't like the schedule anyway. So according to them, it's fine for celebrities to wear the rising sun flag publicly but not okay for someone to personally wear a t-shirt... That's hypocritical. BTS has been busy anyway, thanks for loosening up the schedule ㅋㅋ
2. [+6,162, -34] It is not an anti-Japan t-shirt, it's a t-shirt for liberation day!! Don't misunderstand. BTS is Korean.
3. [+4,767, -31] "We asked about the intention behind the t-shirt and attempted a compromise but"... that means BTS didn't bow down ㅋ the whole world is focused on BTS right now, prepare to get globally embarrassed
4. [+3,336, -20] How is the t-shirt anti-Japan? They're cosplaying as the victims without even reflecting over all the crimes they committed during the war.
5. [+2,055, -22] What does BTS have to lose?? Just lose those Japanese
6. [+581, -1] Why should a Korean wearing a t-shirt celebrating our liberation day have to explain the meaning to you? I'm proud of our BTS for having proper historical knowledge
7. [+544, -4] Japan is basically strangling themselves right now. BTS is at the influence where this will spread worldwide and the entire world will learn about their history and realize that the rising sun flag is just as bad as the Nazi symbol. This is what Japan gets for being so fixated on the atomic bomb and trying to downplay their entire past ㅋㅋ facts are important. You can't speak logic without the facts.
8. [+401, -1] I get that the Japanese market is important but I hope people aren't afraid to say what's right and wrong. I hope BTS continues to move forward like they have been.

2. [+4,921, -38] To Koreans, he did a very respectful thing by wearing the t-shirt. We don't need Japan to invite BTS, there are tons of countries that want them so don't bother ㅡㅡ
3. [+1,539, -29] Let's all start a group order for the t-shirt thanks to this patriotic idol~! I want to buy one too!
4. [+500, -1] They have no problem wearing the rising sun flag but now they're mad over a liberation day t-shirt ㅋㅋㅋ They didn't say a word when Rupert Grint went to Japan wearing a t-shirt with a huge atomic bomb picture on it, pathetic
5. [+413, -5] I'm sorry that BTS is caught up in all this but I hope this gains more traction and it becomes an opportunity for the entire world to find out about the horrors of Japan's past
